The Bracken Woods what good is an idea if it remains an idea? try. experiment

Just to clarify: they didn't keep walking after they spotted Krypton :)

She adopted a posture similar to his own; one of cautious curiosity. Terich was beside him, and Taggarik could feel that it was on his direction the other so patiently waited. The female barked as she stepped toward them, a nonthreatening greeting of sorts. This satisfied the black wolf to draw nearer. He moved at an easy trot on sturdy legs, but he had scarcely covered but a few paces when she turned to head away from them.

His brows pinched, he thought it odd, and though it was not in his nature to pursue someone who did not want his company, his pace quickened toward her. Three wolves stood a better chance at taking a deer, and he wanted to at least capture her scent for himself. A fortuitous shift in the wind provided that opportunity for him, and he quickly noted how her scent was mingled with many others, the classic tell of a pack wolf.

He did not crowd her, hanging back some ten or so wolf-lengths. He woofed though, offering to her the same gesture, a sweep of his head, that he had invited Terich along with. She could follow them, or she could not. Either way, he turned and moved on down a trail recently stamped by the cloven hooves of deer.
